Steam clippers were sailing ships that had a steam engine amidships to be used in the absence of wind. They were also able to maneuver around a harbor easier than a sailing vessel. There were several steam clippers of note. A link is posted to one of the more famous ones, a vessel that went down with a huge treasure aboard.
